After Goran Popov's sending off, West Brom were seriously under the cosh against Tottenham.

However, while the Baggies defence was bending, it wasn't breaking—and some had a sneaky feeling Spurs would fail to make the breakthrough. Unfortunately, if you can't clear your lines, you only invite pressure.

West Brom conceded 17 corners as Spurs boxed them in, and an astonishing nine of those were won solely by the unplayable Gareth Bale.

24 Points Dropped from Winning Positions

They've dropped 24 points from winning positions in a seemingly consistent effort to make life very, very hard for themselves.

Additionally, Reading have dropped the second-most and Aston Villa the third-most. All three clubs are embroiled in a relegation battle, so perhaps it's fitness and mentality rather than skill that's holding the teams back?
